BI vs Alex EB

[Apraxiteles]

About things that BI cant handle compared to RTW and ALX - ask Foot coz i droped BI 2 years ago when I had issues with it and i know he tested it and spoke on forums here it can not handle EB script well at all.

I find it very interesting that you are making such a strong argument about this, Mr. Maksimus, especially the last time this came up, back in March of this year, you said this:

I palyed on BI very shortly so I can not comment it (do it has features RTW and ALX do not : LIke S_wall, swiming... +.. but ALX.exe has Legion names too, Night battles.. etc)

In any case, BI and ALX are far better than RTW.exe

And this:

I havent been playing BI much so I cant comment really - I just think ALX.exe is faster than BI.exe

You didn't mention anything about script issues then. Why not? If you indeed dropped BI two years ago, for the reasons you suggest, why couldn't you comment on it this spring? You claimed that you didn't play BI long enough to judge it. By then, you were already espousing ALEX.exe, so these experiences of yours couldn't have happened after you posted in that thread. Would you please care to explain this discrepancy?

In the meantime, I'll continue to scour the old threads for any clues about this mythical script issue. The only script issues anyone has had have been Trivial Script issues, which look like they were fairly simply resolved, by an EB Team programmer no less. So far, nobody has mentioned any issues with the Background Script, or the Campaign Script.

EDIT:

On second thought, I don't believe that will be necessary. In July of last year, the departed Maion made a thread about implementing various BI features, to which Foot replied:

I'd be very happy to help with modding the stuff, so if you need any help you can give me a call. Or something.

Here is the thread:

Foot mentions nothing about any problems with BI, and is in fact, eager to help. If he and the modding team had abandoned BI.exe because of an issue as drastic as the script not working, they would have mentioned something about it in the dozens of threads about BI.exe that I've just read. Instead, they appear to be openly trying to help people use it.

Maybe ALEX.exe is better, I haven't used it, so I don't know. But that is besides the point right now. Unless Mr. Maksimus can explain all of this, I must be forced to assume that he is a shameless liar. There is a public record. This is an online forum for Pete's sake! I can find every single thing ever said on this forum on the subject, if I have to, but I think I have made my point.
